“Balancing rocks is much more than just balancing rocks!”—一篇Jamie Hlady專訪


去年(2009)的夏天,曾多次登出Jamie Hlady的「Rock Balancing」作品。

但只見其人與作品,對於他的背景卻一無所知。

下文是轉載自「The Source,May 25, 2010的報導—Forget rocks—he brings balance to community,作者是Kelly Scarsbrook。

在讀過這篇專訪後,相信可以對Jamie Hlady有更進一步的瞭解!

You’ve probably seen them at White Rock Beach and wondered how they got there. Or maybe you witnessed the crowds who gathered to watch the young, fair haired man achieve the impossible with ordinary rocks.

They are the astounding rock formations that balance on the top of one another, creating beautiful art against the backdrop of the ocean.

Jamie Hlady has always been an artist at heart. It’s hard to explain how he stumbled into the awe-inspiring rock formations he has been doing for the crowds at White Rock Beach for past six years, but it’s something he believes he was destined to do.

“I love the community of White Rock and I love to serve the people,” Hlady said. “I enjoy attracting crowds and putting smiles on their faces as they go for their evening ice cream. Nothing makes me happier than seeing peoples’ face light up.”

He said balancing rocks is much more than just balancing rocks.

I like to think of it as bringing balance to the community,” Hlady said. “Because of my rock balancing, I have met so many different kinds of people. I have also come to understand that lots of people are on sad walks in life, so I just hope to inspire them that anything is possible. These rocks look impossible to balance but it can be done.

I his day job, Hlady works for Atmosphere in Langley – but his unique art form have lately attracted many customers. In addition to displays of his rock formations at White Rock Beach, Hlady also sells photographs of his artwork and makes permanent sculptures of them for people’s homes or gardens.

Haldy is reluctant to assign any special meaning to the rocks that defy gravity, as he wants people to see things in their own way when they look at them.

海鷗與石頭的對話

上週六(Oct. 03, 2009),照例散步到White Rock海邊去觀賞Jamie Hlady的Rock Balancing作品。

就坐在White Rock Museum and Archives前的椅子上,欣賞Jamie那異於常人的奇特功夫。

忽然間,岩石上矗立著一顆灰白色的石頭,心想!Jamie去那兒找到這種怪石頭。

馬上拿再仔細一看!原來是隻海鷗!
(或許是一隻公鳥,把那顆石頭當做是母鳥,含情默默在對話!)

馬上提起相機,衝上前去,把握稍蹤即逝的機會,按下快門補捉難得的鏡頭。

可惜短短的幾秒鐘,只能留下兩張照片做為紀念!

Rock Balancing—山寨版的作品


這是某個午後,在White Rock Museum and Archives前方岩石堆所拍下的照片。

想必是某位仁兄在看過Jamie Hlady的作品後,突發奇想下的傑作,我們姑且稱之為「山寨版的Rock Balancing」。

White Rock海邊,表演Rock Balancing的男孩

只要在陽光普照的假日,白石鎮(White Rock)舊火車站(White Rock Museum and Archives)前方海邊的石頭堆,經常會看到一位年輕小夥子。

他正聚精會神,靠著異於常人的平衡功夫,挑選各種形狀的石頭,一顆一顆往上堆疊,因著石頭的特性,創造出各款出神入化的作品。

其實這是一種表演藝術,稱為「Rock Balancing」,表演者名叫Jamie Hlady。

由於他的功夫實在了得,總能吸引住遊客的目光,除了懷著讚嘆的眼光、駐足欣賞外,也不時拿起相機或錄影機,補捉那稍縱即逝的奇景!

此外,他也是個攝影高手,現場也有銷售他的攝影作品;有裱框的訂價為30—40元,未裱框的每張5元。

下次當您來到White Rock海邊時,或許會有機會看到他的現場表演!

依據維基百科(Wikipedia)的記載,有關Rock balancing的說明如下:

Rock balancing is an art, discipline, and / or hobby depending upon the intent of the practitioner.

Rock balancing—as well as the approaches above—can also be a performance art, a spectacle, or a devotion, depending upon the interpretation by its audience.
Essentially, it involves placing some combination of rock or stone in arrangements which require patience and sensitivity to generate, and which appear to be physically impossible while actually being only highly improbable.

The rock balancer may work for free or for pay, as an individual or in a group, and their intents and the audiences' interpretations may vary given the situation or the venue.

There are three types of rock balancing:

1. Pure Balance - each rock in near-point balance

2. Balanced Stacking - rocks lain flat upon each other to great height

3.Free Style - mixture of the two above, may include arches, etc.
